Vehicle description

Wargaming Tankopedia

In June 1954, nine drafts for potential successors of the M48 medium tank were proposed by the Detroit Arsenal. The aim of these projects was to develop a vehicle with a combat weight of about 30 tons that would improve upon the M48's mobility and firepower. In the end, the TL-1 project was selected, but works on the light and well-armed TL-7 tank continued. The results of this work were presented on April 7, 1955, but the project was ultimately canceled in favor of the T95 program. No prototypes were built.
